happened. i was sitting with her when she was in a coma when i got the phone call from cedars sinai in los angeles that there was a kidney match for me. not realizing that the kidney was from a young woman who was the niece of a nurse who had taken care of me several weeks before. so now that s an extraordinary thing where, you know, it s not like a nurse who had been with you for months and months or years. this is somebody who entered your life for one day. do you think the man upstairs had something to do with it? i know he did. it was divine intervention. things like this don t happen. we couldn t have written it any better. it s one of those grieving moments and yet, there s a grateful moment and yet there s a it s a bittersweet moment and yet, it s like so many emotions all drawn up in one.
